MEANING PORTFOLIO ENTRY:
I decided to take some more tests for this portfolio. I am a left-brainer in the way I like classifying myself into numbers and groups, so that is why I enjoy the tests that Pink recommends.
In-spirit score: 14- below average
Well-being score: 3.81-about middle
Stress level: 5-minimal
I received a red score which means I am disconnected spiritually and have a general lack of well-being. This comes as no surprise to me, though I don't consider myself an unhappy person. I am very happy with the way I look, with my family, with my country, with my friends, and with where I want to take my life. The only thing I see as deterring my well-being is what I feel about my personality inside. Sometimes I wonder if my personality is very flawed because sometimes it is difficult for me to keep my anger in and I have stronger opinions about things then most people do. This may be because opposites attract and I surround myself with people that are very mild-mannered so I just see myself as having a radical personality. I mostly have a positive outlook on life and I see that I am in control of my own personality and I am in control of my own decisions. Spiritually, I know I am lacking a lot to be desired. But the problem is that my parents never took me to church nor taught me any Christian (or any other) set of strict values on which I should base my life; so it is understandable that I would be unable to understand how much I am lacking in spirituality. Also, my dad is very cynical, so I think I get my cynicism about religion from him. Sometimes I find myself praying to a God I'm not really sure I even believe in though, just because sometimes I feel alone and hopeless. Also, my friend has been cursed with a bipolar and evil mother and I pray for her often; that she will not become her mother and that she will rise above her mother's level and become this amazing person that I know she can be. It is because of people like my friend that make me believe that there must be a God out there somewhere and that this life that we are granted has a purpose and that purpose is to help others get through their own challenges.
